Solution architecture for an Azure integration platform replacing business-critical BizTalk healthcare interfaces. Hands-on development focused on Apache Camel-based MLLP connectivity on AKS, while further elaborating the platform-wide routing, transformation and delivery flows for MLLP, FTP, SFTP and SMB.

• Owned the detailed solution architecture, translating the high-level design into technical guidance, ADRs and implementation-ready Jira stories.
• Further elaborated the Azure Service Bus-based messaging and Azure Functions-based processing flows for message routing, mapping, document transformation and file delivery.
• Evaluated Logic Apps Standard Hybrid Deployment and Apache Camel for MLLP connectivity and presented the trade-offs in operating costs and complexity to support the customer?s decision. Subsequently designed and implemented the selected Camel solution on a dedicated private AKS cluster with separate Camel workloads for each ingress port and egress destination
• Designed and implemented the network setup, including subnet design and integration of the private AKS cluster into the existing platform VNet, to meet the customer?s security and compliance requirements.
• Developed the Azure Table Storage configuration schema based on the legacy BizTalk configuration and aligned requirements with customer stakeholders.
• Provisioned Azure resources with Bicep and integrated Application Insights for end-to-end observability.

Designed and prepared Azure-based enterprise integration solutions for a manufacturing customer, including API Management migration, Hybrid Logic Apps proof-of-concept implementation, ERP/MES integration and introducing CI/CD.

• Planned the consolidation of multiple Azure API Management instances, including migration approach, effort estimation and supporting tooling.
• Implemented a Hybrid Logic Apps proof of concept to evaluate Azure Integration Services as a potential successor to BizTalk-based on-premises integration scenarios.
• Evolved integration architectures for ERP/MES integration scenarios.
• Documented target architectures, integration concepts and architectural decisions using arc42 and C4 diagrams.
• Introduced automated application deployments and improved security by replacing password- and key-based authentication with Managed Identity where applicable.
• Worked closely with customer stakeholders to gather requirements, validate solution approaches and coordinate integration topics.

Further developed and implemented an Azure Application Landing Zone for application workloads in the energy sector.

• Refined the initial architecture design and implemented the required Azure infrastructure with Terraform.
• Continuously improved the target architecture based on customer requirements, technical constraints and operational considerations.
• Proposed architecture improvements such as container-based deployment instead of virtual machines and implemented Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra instead of self-managed Cassandra on VMs.
• Automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and Azure DevOps to improve consistency and repeatability.
• Enabled customer developers through onboarding, training and guidance on the provided Azure resources.

Implemented and further developed a modular Azure Integration Services Landing Zone infrastructure for a BizTalk migration and future enterprise integration use cases.

• Refined the initial architecture design and translated it into automated Azure infrastructure with Terraform.
• Built reusable Terraform modules and introduced a centralized versioned Terraform module repository to standardize infrastructure provisioning across projects.
• Enabled customer IT team and developers through onboarding, training and hands-on guidance.
• Established reusable Azure infrastructure patterns to reduce future implementation effort and improve consistency.
• Supported automated provisioning and delivery processes with Azure DevOps.

Developed and automated Azure infrastructure for a Big Data IoT project in the energy sector, enabling repeatable environment provisioning and independent developer workflows.

• Built Terraform-based infrastructure automation for Azure resources and continuously adapted it to changing customer requirements.
• Created an on-demand deployment approach that allowed developers to provision their own Azure environments in addition to dev, test and production.
• Automated deployment processes with Azure DevOps to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
• Supported developers through onboarding and guidance on the provided Azure resources.
• Proposed a custom stream-processing workload on Azure Container Apps as an alternative to Azure Stream Analytics for the specific processing requirements.

Designed and implemented an Azure-based enterprise data platform POC for the wholesale sector, consolidating data from heterogeneous source systems and exposing standardized data products through APIs and event-driven interfaces.

• Designed the target architecture covering networking, security, integration and operations.
• Implemented the Azure infrastructure with reusable Terraform deployment patterns.
• Established ingestion and processing using Azure Data Factory and Databricks.
• Integrated Azure Virtual Networks, Key Vault, Log Analytics, API Management and Service Bus Topics.
• Set up Azure DevOps-based delivery processes and supported developers through guidance, onboarding and knowledge transfer.

• Worked on an enterprise software ecosystem supporting digital order, approval, execution, billing and archiving processes in the energy grid environment.
• Contributed to frontend, backend, testing, containerization and cloud/DevOps-related topics.

• Worked as a Fullstack Engineer on content management systems for two pump manufacturers, based on FirstSpirit. 
• Implemented requirements from Jira user stories across the frontend and backend, with a focus on CMS templates and the associated application logic.
